Chapter 6
"Ehem! Well, I don't know if this is good news for you, but it is expected that Ace will come home later to stay here and to help me with business, this is the reason why father and I called a meeting today."
"What? "Huh?"
Almost everyone who heard what Warren said was shocked, even my maid and I!
Because the name he mentioned was not what I expected. Ace! So there really is an Ace in the Chairman's son as Mang Manuel mentioned?
Madam Ami stood up because of what she heard, her straight face was replaced by shock. "W-What did you say? Well, father and I have already discussed it with Sir. Lucas and Ace will help-- "Who are you to decide such a thing? Do you think that man knows about the company? He can't even respect me!" Madam was furious with Warren.
Warren took a deep breath. "Mom please... This is not about his attitude, it's about how to run the company."
"Then, why don't you choose my son Yin? He knows more about the company, he studied for that! Then you choose a man who didn't even finish?" Madam said with a smile.
"I know Yin knows something about the company but I need Ace more, And he is also your son."
Madam laughed sarcastically. "Ha! Son? I don't have a demon child!--"
Madam stopped what she was going to say when the Chairman violently slammed the table. "If you don't consider him as a son, I consider him! You are the reason why he behaved like that! You treated him like trash!" Even though it was difficult for him to speak, he stood up to his anger.
Warren stood up suddenly. "You all leave first," he said to the brothers, even though they didn't seem to want to stand, they were forced. Mike, Yuri and Rio immediately came out. Rhy, on the other hand, stayed in the chair for a few seconds before standing up and following the brothers. "I thought we could talk about this calmly." He added. He and the maids also turned. "Leave now too." He was smiling but it was obvious that he was trying. We bowed before doing what he said.
The maids and I walked out of the dining room together, every time I walked I could hear the whispers of my colleagues but I didn't pay attention but I just kept walking until I saw the Chairman's children on the way. I slowed down because I didn't want to be ahead because Mike might notice me "Is it true what Brother Warren said that Brother Ace will come back?" I heard Mike ask Shail who was next to him.
"Yeah, that's good news right..." He said with a mixture of lethargy. "Why are you afraid of him? I don't understand... he is also our brother..." He said sadly.
"Brother? I don't have a brother like him..." Rhy suddenly interjected as they turned their backs. After that he walked away I looked at Rhy's back for a moment, because I don't understand what's wrong with Ace and why they don't seem to like it and another one, who is Ace? Why can't I see his name on Google? Don't tell me the Gos are hiding him?
I'm curious...
I raised my face when I felt someone holding my back, when I looked to see who did it, I saw Tita with a smile on her face.
"Why Sad?" She is weak.
I smiled here. "It's not, I'm just thinking about something." I answered him. I looked behind it to see where Shin was. I immediately bowed as a sign of respect, but even before I did it, he spoke.
"You don't need to do that. So, it turns out that you, Zuri, are the ones my husband is mentioning." Here, he suddenly extended his hand. "Nice too meet you," I was surprised by his gesture because I didn't know if I should accept that. They sensed my hesitation so Aunt immediately took my hand "You're not the only help here Zuri, I'm your niece." It's a low whisper.
I know I'm his nephew, but isn't that unfair to others?
I was the one who voluntarily reached for Shin's outstretched hand before bowing slightly.
I heard Shin's soft laugh. Oh I meant Sir Shin. "I'm sorry Alaba, I know you have a lot to do, but I hope you can think of visiting your Aunt, even if only once in a while." He said.
Cough Cough Cough
Shin and I both looked at Tita as she coughed again and again. I immediately approached him while Shin supported him "are you okay aunt?" I hesitate to ask "I told you, let's stay at the hospital. You're not safe here."
Aunt laughed weakly and Shin didn't like that either. "What are you two doing, I just coughed, don't worry I'm fine." It said.
"Auntie, even. I really don't know why you don't want to go to the Hospital. You'll be safe there." I said sadly.
I saw his short smile. "H-It's not necessary."
I looked at Shin and saw that he looked differently as if he was avoiding my gaze. I was a little surprised.
"We'll go first, Zuri. Don't mess around." I was surprised when my aunt hugged me before she walked away.
I just looked behind the two of them because they seemed to be hiding something. I held my head and shook my head. 'I've been thinking about something else.'
Warren just held his hand, he knew that this would happen when Ace was discussed again, but he did not expect that the couple would fight in front of his brothers.
He doesn't want to hear the sensitive words of his younger brothers, especially Mike, who has a young mind.
"What's your plan and you chose Ace over me?" Warren looked to his right when he heard Yin's voice. "I'm better than him! Shouldn't you have chosen me Especially since I'm the second child! "Stop Yin! There is a reason why we chose her!"
"Then what's the fvcking reason? I will surpass what he did!"
"The reason is that he understands better than you! And above all, he is not greedy for any of the family's wealth!" The chairman spoke. He said it directly and didn't think about how the child would feel.
Yin smiled sarcastically. "Really?" Can't believe this. He stood up and placed his hands on the table then looked at the Chairman eye to eye. "Hey, old man! You choose to let that man stay in this house even if your children are afraid of him?! You should think about what will happen when that man is here!"
"Watch your mouth, Yin! You're talking to Dad!" Warren scolded his brother angrily Yin looked at it sharply before kicking his chair before turning and walking away.
"Is that the son you expect to help us? He doesn't even respect me!" The Chairman said insultingly while looking at his wife.
"If you chose him, he wouldn't be like that! He worked hard for the company and then you only choose Ace? What kind of father are you and you can choose a sampid son over our real son? "Sampid? He's your son, Ami! He's your flesh and blood, then you see him as a sampid!?" At that point the Chairman stood up.
Ami looked sarcastically at her husband. "Why? It's true, isn't it? She's my daughter with a man I don't know!"
"Mom, dad! Please!! Stop! No matter where Ace is from, he's my brother! And I'll do everything just to have him come back here as my brother and not whatever animal you see him as!" Warren's screams are losing patience. "I'm sorry for yelling, But won't you be ashamed? M-Mom...? It's not Ace's fault what happened to you, he didn't choose to live by making a mistake, I feel bad for him! It's really not his fault He must have felt the things he is feeling now. He is a man who has no choice but to accept that he is a child by mistake and accept the hurtful words that come from you Mom, who is his real mother!" He couldn't help but be hurt by what he said about Ace because it was all true.
Ace no longer felt the love of any of the Go, even though Warren had distanced himself from Ace before, which he now regrets. Because it was Ami who said or ordered not to approach Ace so he could do nothing but obey his Mother.
But the Chairman is partial but welcomes Ace. He rejects it because it's not his child or doesn't have a good Go and he accepts it because it's strange. In fact, he was closer to Ace than to Yin, but because he had a chance at the company, he couldn't watch over his son, which is why he didn't know what was happening to Ace in their home. She did not know that she was being abused until her husband misled her.
When he found out what happened to Ace at his home, he really regretted it. In fact, he immediately went to look for Ace, he used everything in his power to see Ace but unfortunately no one saw or could find him.
Until a few years passed when Ace suddenly came to their Mansion, the Chairman was happy because the son he thought was back. But his innocent face and attitude have changed.
He has no respect or fear because it's just casual. Chairman saw Ace killing a Helper in his house once someone came here.
That really scared him because his son Ace didn't even feel guilty. He wanted to imprison or report the son to the authorities but he thought that if he did that, his heart would go further away so he chose to be free and he also chose to hide it from the Media and hide him.
While the situation was like that, he secretly investigated the son and that's when he found out who took care of Ace the last year he was missing and the name of the person who took care of Ace was Lucas. But he found out that this was an Assass*n so he immediately thought that he was the reason why Ace's behavior changed so he wanted to put Lucas in prison for teaching the child bad things, but Ace already recognized Lucas as his father and he is no more.
